Hair style is the first thing that hits while making the first impression about the person. It seems as if the hairstyles have their own personality and voices in which they speak to you. A person’s hairstyle is indeed his way of making a style statement but it is also much more than that. A hairstyle at times depicts the mood of an era and the energy of a generation. Hairstyles can be as distinct as our instinct to say and do something different. Here is a list of ten different styles that stood the test of time.

1. Afro

This hairstyle has become the trademark of Afro Americans over the years. From its humble beginnings in the 1970’s, when it became the face of the civil rights moment of its celebrity status now, this hairstyle has come a long way. It is also special in many ways. Only very few white males can naturally attain an afro. Every Afro American youth bears this hairstyle as a symbol of pride and their innate uniqueness.

If Afro was about making a political statement, then Marie Antoinette is all about style. It was made famous by French women in the 1700’s. It is a very intricate and complex form of hairstyle to have, without losing on the flamboyance. It involves the use of pads, pomade and plenty of ornaments.
